Maybe it should be possible for a parent to set a child age in a device.
Everyone else can stay anonymous.
I look forward to hearing why that won't work and what problems it will cause.

Parental controls. Client-side blocking of content. Apple's parental controls are so good that parents give young children unsupervised internet access--the entire generation if iPad babies. Current iPads even use on-device AI to detect nudity in photos and prevent them from being taken, sent, recieved, or viewed.
If the server can trust the device, then you don't need the parent, you can use a digital-enabled id card or passport.
This is in fact the EU age verification app

The concern here is the trust in the device appears to be tied to proprietary os/device vendors.
How does the parent prove they are the parent. All you need is to think about the next step, come on now.
…upon device purchase? Very obviously?
How someone proves parentage of a given child upon device purchase is far from obvious.
The verification is not done per device but per usage session.

You're describing California AB1043 which passed a few months ago and is now the law in California. We all got very angry about it when it passed.
